I gritted my teeth, mustered my courage, took the elevator to the seventh floor, and after ringing the doorbell, I began to feel uneasy again. What if Gao Song was there? If he humiliated me in front of Shen Bing and Shen Bing just watched and ignored me, should I jump off the seventh floor
The door opened and my heart suddenly rose to my throat.
Damn it, why is Prime Minister Yan here? He was the one who opened the door.
"Come in." Old Yan was still as arrogant as ever. He didn't even ask me why I was here. He just let me in as if he was the owner.
I followed him in curiously, and turned around to look for Shen Bing, but I couldn't find her. The living room was empty, and the bedroom door was open, with no one inside. I thought, what kind of empty city trick is this? When I didn't see Shen Bing, I felt disappointed, and sat down next to Old Yan and asked him, "Where's Shen Bing?"
"She is busy preparing for the wedding. Knowing you are coming, she asked me to receive you on her behalf." Old Yan said lifelessly.
Damn, he knew I was coming, which meant he received my text message, so why didn't he reply? Doesn't that mean he didn't want to talk to me? But if he didn't want to talk to me, why didn't he just turn me away? Why did he ask Old Yan to come and receive me
"Where is she now?" I didn't want to waste time. Besides, my psychological endurance had reached its limit. I had to see Shen Bing immediately and make things clear.
"She told me to tell you that you don't need to look for her. She has nothing to say to you. If you are willing to stay in the provincial capital for a few more days, I will accompany you." Old Yan put his hand on my shoulder with a friendly look, sighed and continued: "She is getting married. She knows that you like her, but in order to avoid embarrassment, she decided not to meet you. Don't go to the wedding."
After hearing this, my heart sank. Old Yan is not a joker. What he said must have been said by Shen Bing herself. What's the difference between what she said and what she said to me personally that she was willing to marry Gao Song? A man should keep his tears to himself. Why should he shed them in front of others and let them look down on him? Although I am a bumpkin, I also have the dignity of a bumpkin!
"I see." I forced a smile, even though I wanted to cry. I stood up, shook hands with Old Yan and said, "I wanted to attend her wedding, but since she doesn't want to see me, I'll go back. Thank you for hosting me. Please come visit us next time. Goodbye!"
After I said this, I almost ran out of the door in a hurry, because I was not sure how long I could keep this smile. For the sake of face, I couldn't let Old Yan think that I was useless. This is the reason why you have to suffer in order to save face.
I couldn't wait for the elevator, so I walked down the stairs step by step. With each step, my heart felt heavier, as if a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds was pressing on me. Let's go back. I have completely given up on the idea. A swan like her doesn't belong to a toad like me. Just look at her. What else do you want
At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang, indicating that there was a text message!
I was startled. Was it from Shen Bing? I hurriedly took out my phone from my pocket. In my panic, I didn't hold it properly. The phone fell to the ground and the battery fell out.
Damn, why did I fail at the critical moment? If I break my phone, I won't be able to see this message. I might as well kill myself! I put the battery in place and turned it on again. The phone was not broken. I flipped through the message I just received and saw that it was not from Shen Bing. I slapped my forehead and was nervous for nothing.
But the content of the text message was related to Shen Bing, which made me nervous again.
"Shen Bing is going to marry a rich and powerful handsome man tomorrow. You toad, do you know what pain is? Do you know what sadness is? You deserve it!"
There was no signature below, and the number was an unfamiliar one. Judging from the tone of the text message, it was sent specifically to piss me off, so there was no need to call back. Could it be Gao Song? Or Lu Fei? It couldn't be Lu Fei, I immediately denied him. He hadn't even gotten what he wanted, so how could he still be in the mood to make fun of me
It must be Gao Song. I have beaten him before, and he is taking this opportunity to retaliate against me!
Damn it, whoever you are, you pissed me off. I immediately sent a text message back: "Before the wedding, anything can happen. Wait, I'll show you how a toad can eat swan meat!"
I’m not going back. I must see Shen Bing!
